I'm looking for a new monitor and was looking through ebay and amazon.

I found this used benq xl2411

GTG/273104639756?hash=item3f964e170c:g:Vl4AAOSwqblapIAu

but it says that it has a small bright? is that bad

or should i buy a brand new aoc monitor which could be double the price of the used benq

which one would be the better option so i can spend the least money but have a good monitor

I would say the 2nd Monitor, the AOC. Mainly because the first link has been removed from ebay. The AOC looks like a good monitor. I don't see any red flags.

does this one work?

Yes that link worked. That monitor may work perfectly fine and whatnot but it did NOT list Freesync as a feature. That means it is a rather "old" 144Hz monitor. It may still work for years to come but all in all, I would rather have the new Monitor with Modern features and whatnot then something that may only barely function enough to be sold as used but in working condtion.
